Synopsis:Summer Skiin’ in February
The Chronicles are moral and magical tales of gnar while descending the jagged peaks of the Sierra Mountain Range. On one level, there is the delight of traveling in realm of wonderful imagination. The other magic is the deeper sort that comes out of faith, obedience and love of Father Gnar and acceptance of Gnarus’s (son of gnar) wonderful sacrifice through skiing. Gnarnia takes us beautifully through that journey.
Gnar of Late: The Search for Gnar Begins……a few weeks back
Aslan summons his children through the rain…

Over at Sugar Bowl, Father Christmas wished for a record end to January…
While the rest of us studied the Deeper Magic from Before the Dawn of Time, Zippy was in full swing during the week….
He skied this line under Aslan’s watch….
SATURDAY:
Gnarnia’s vineyards are glorious in the early morning….
666 leaps over the cave of the Fenris Ulf…
Zippy lays a turn above the Cair Paravel…
While enjoying his Turkish Delight, Zippy makes a turn in some snow…
Zippy hops over Gnar in Gnarnia….
Darkness loses hold of Gnarnia and light returns for Slim….
Skimoore’s magical powers are legendary….
Zippy, definitely in the MOMENT….
The land of Gnarnia has been in terrible darkness and cold a very long time, but when the creatures get word that Zippy is coming the light appeared…

666 was under assault from the magic fairies….
Intensity is his darkest magical power…
Skimoore hides under the snow for cover…
After the coast was clear, Slim emerges from his rocky cave…
His specialty —– white magic….
666 is literally a lost sheep who must return to God’s flock to be forgiven after his line choice…
However, he found a line that represents the possibility of salvation even after sin…
Slim never sins, and always takes the best line (while wearing Norrona)
Zippy symbolizes how easily even caring, but naïve, people can be lead along the path of the devil…
His line choice is a prime example…
Because he has struck a deal with the Witch, Tyrone is in grave danger…
So for him, quick exits are the name of the game…
Zippy shows the league his magical weapons…
…however, the bases hold all of the magic, so I am told.

Skimoore mistrusted the Witch until his greed overwhelmed his instincts…
Zippy suggests that while individuals may be safe in their own abode, danger is never far and can be found over any cliff…
Zippy illustrates how difficult it can be to perform a 180 even in the wake of the work of the devil….
Because, as Skimoore displays, Satan keeps to the shadows and the dark places, even in Gnarnia…
Ultimately, and to his detriment, Skimoore has a strong taste for the White Magic…
Lph keeps to the dark places and the shadows as he hunts for the children…
666 packs the time capturing device and heads for the gnar near the bottom of Chair 4…
Zippy is the first person to encounter Maugrim….
Zippy has the weakest faith and is the most vulnerable to the influence of Satan…
….so naturally he is the first of the children that Maugrim threatens.
Skimoore, off on his own, is attacked but takes refuge above the trees…
666 represents the dark, recognizable face of evil. He is terrifying and brutal so he is easily recognized for what he is…
So we survived Saturday. Back in Meyers, the sun glistened on the 5 feet of settled snowfall on Slim’s front lawn.
SUNDAY: The Final Battle…
All of the minions sleep under the ice to avoid any conflict before the final battle…
Armed with shovels tipped with Black Magic, even the ski patrol was on the darkside…
However, the M1’s don’t follow the law of magic, and 666 gave up on the possible attack…
Now deep in Gnarnia, Skimoore slays some in the trenches of Thunder Bowl….
Slim follows Skimoore’s flute to the desired location…
Mrs. Slim, on board for battle, straightlines to the barracks…
Zippy is swift and deadly especially under rays of sunshine…
But he remains in the shadows,
…ever stalking the righteous creatures, until he sees a weakness.
Regarded as one of the Special Forces, Lou comes in for battle. Well, after dropping his kids off at ski school…..
…if only his wife knew of his true identity (Gnarnia Slayer)
Lou does not attack openly; he only strikes at the weakest point…
Supu does attack openly; he only strikes at the strongest point
Supu’s virtue and faith allow him to face evil and prevail…
Tyrone narrowly escapes his own death and flees back to the White Witch…
666 illustrates how difficult it can be to spot the work of the devil….
Because Satan keeps to the shadows and the dark places, even in Gnarnia
Fortunately for the children the snow masks their scent, and 666 forgoes a battle with the devil…
Lou leads the entire group on a long, dark trek through the forest…
Supu keeps to the lower valleys and the undergrowth where the White Witch can’t follow him.
Here it is….G N A R N I A !
Zippy summons the sun god…
TO BRING WARMTH TO GNARNIA!
However, the minions have one last battle. Located in the Spur, the battle will test the minions might. Skimoore leads the charge…
The Witch uses the tools of trickery and illusion to fool the good creatures of Gnarnia into skiing Powder days after the last storm…
Tyrone moves into position…
Supu follows as a lookout…
Mrs. Slim tests for stability…
Slim makes noises by the White Witch’s lair…
Followed by loud insults by Zippy…
Zippy LAYS down the gauntlet…
